CWS Windows & Doors in Wellington, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
We service, repair, and replace CWS windows and doors throughout Wellington, from the original 1990s single-hungs in Olympia to the oversized impact sliders out on the equestrian estates. We’re an independent CWS service provider, not a manufacturer dealer or warranty arm, so we call repair-versus-replace straight. The one thing that makes our CWS work different here: we know which failure modes on Wellington’s pre-2002 CBS homes are actually repairable, and which ones mean the frame is done. Call (561) 349-4826 for a free estimate.
Why Wellington Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Dale Kessler grew up in Wellington’s Paddock Park neighborhood, back when half the houses his father drove past had aluminum jalousie windows that leaked every time a storm rolled in off the Everglades. That bothered him enough to make it his life’s work. He learned the trade at Palm Beach State College’s building construction program in Lake Worth, spent nights in the lab learning glazing tolerances, and has been setting and sealing windows in Palm Beach County for going on three decades.
Our crew works on CWS windows and doors in Wellington every week. We know the 400 Series single-hung that went into so many Versailles homes in the late 1990s. We know what happens to casement corners when irrigation overspray hits them month after month. And we stock the OEM-compatible parts that get your CWS units working again without waiting on a slow manufacturer pipeline. When you call, a live person answers. When we schedule, we show up.
Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Wellington
Here’s what we see most often on CWS products in this area, and what it takes to fix each one right:
- Failed IGUs (fogging) in original CWS 400 Series single-hungs from the 1990s. Wellington’s humidity plus two decades of thermal cycling means the sealed units in these windows eventually lose their inert gas and start hazing between the panes. We pull the sash, replace the IGU with an FL-approved impact glass unit, and upgrade the weatherstripping while it’s out.
- Corrosion at aluminum frame corners in casement windows. Wellington’s irrigation systems throw reclaimed water with a mineral load that eats at raw aluminum corners over time. If the corrosion is surface-level, we clean, seal, and reinforce. If it’s compromised the extrusion, we tell you plainly.
- Stripped operator gears in CWS 700 Series casement cranks. These crank mechanisms strip when the sash gets stiff from worn weatherstripping or slight frame settlement. Replacing the gear is quick; ignoring it means a window that won’t close tight against hurricane season.
- Warped or stuck panels in CWS impact sliders from post-Wilma retrofits. After Wilma’s 2005 track slammed western Palm Beach County, a wave of impact sliders went in fast. Many of those rollers and tracks are now wearing unevenly. We replace rollers, realign tracks, and get the panel gliding again.
- Drafty CWS 200 Series awnings with original glazing beads. The rubber glazing beads on these older awnings dry out and shrink in Wellington’s sun, letting air and rain find a gap. New equal-spec beads and a proper seal stop the draft.
CWS Service in Wellington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something most people don’t learn until they’re mid-quote: Wellington is not in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. The HVHZ covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties with stricter product testing and more paperwork. Wellington sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, which means CWS impact windows and doors only need a Florida Product Approval number, not a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Practically speaking, that’s a 10 to 15 percent lower product cost than the same job on the coast. If a contractor tells you an NOA is required for a Wellington permit, they’re wrong, and you’re about to overpay.
For CWS owners specifically, this code distinction matters when you’re deciding between repair and replacement. A 1997 CWS 400 Series that needs a new IGU? Repair is usually the move if the frame is sound. But if that same frame has aluminum corrosion from irrigation overspray or warping from two decades of hurricane cycles, replacing the unit with a Florida Product Approval-rated CWS impact window is nearly always cheaper than repeated repairs. Dale’s rule applies: “If it’s not right on the paperwork, it won’t be right on the wall.”
CWS Models & Products We Service in Wellington
We work on the full CWS lineup that’s common in Wellington homes, including the 400 Series Single-Hung, 700 Series Casement, 200 Series Awning, and the 140-mph rated CWS Impact Sliding Glass Door. For structural components like balances and operators, we use CWS OEM parts when they’re available. For wear items like weatherstripping, glazing beads, and rollers, we source equal-spec aftermarket parts that meet Florida Product Approval standards. We keep the most common Wellington CWS parts on hand, which means most repairs finish in one visit. For the equestrian estates out in Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill, we also handle oversized impact sliders and custom barn-style openings that need commercial-grade sizing under residential HOA review.

FAQs - CWS Windows & Doors in Wellington
It depends on the frame. If the aluminum extrusion is still true and the only problem is a failed IGU or worn hardware, repair is usually the better value, especially on Wellington’s older CBS homes where original openings were built consistently. If there’s corrosion at the corners, warping from hurricane cycles, or the frame no longer sits square, replacement is cheaper long-term. We’ll tell you which one applies to your windows, without pressure either way. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll take a look.
Yes. Wellington is not in the HVHZ, so a Florida Product Approval number is all Palm Beach County requires on a permitted window replacement. No Miami-Dade NOA needed. That keeps CWS impact products roughly 10 to 15 percent less expensive here than in coastal Palm Beach County cities that fall under stricter requirements.
They can. CWS impact sliders are available in commercial widths and heights that accommodate oversized openings, and we’ve installed them across Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill where HOA review boards require both 140-mph wind-load compliance and a specific architectural look. The process takes a bit longer than a standard slider swap because the openings are engineered, not just filled. Call (561) 349-4826 for a site assessment and measurements.
Usually the gear isn’t the root problem. When the sash binds because weatherstripping is worn or the frame has shifted slightly, the operator gear takes the extra load and strips. Replacing the gear without fixing the bind means you’ll replace it again in a year. We address the stiffness first, then put in a new CWS OEM operator so it lasts.
If your windows are original single-pane aluminum from the 1980s or early 1990s, they predate Florida’s post-Andrew impact standards, and your insurer is likely rating you for that. Upgrading to impact-rated CWS windows or adding approved shutters can meaningfully lower your wind mitigation credits. We can document your current opening protection and give you a straight answer on what an upgrade would cost. Call (561) 349-4826 for an inspection.
